This past Friday we had our family over for a Christmas dinner party. The girls helped to get ready for it all day and were so excited to share their spirit with Noni, KPaw, Auntie K, & Brinan. Early in the day they helped me prepare the fish, green beans almondine, our Olive Garden salad, appetizers, and make the fudge. They also helped to set the table and clean their room. It was a special day getting ready. Everyone arrived around 6:00. Soon after, we were all blessed by a visit from Santa Clause. This would be the girls second personal visit this season. Pretty special I'd say!! After Santa came we all sang Christmas carols, took some pictures, and then Santa handed out presents. Once he left us, we enjoyed a great dinner followed by the movie Elf. Mom brought banana pudding and an old fashioned yule log. It was a very cozy night spent with family. Every Christmas season I am reminded about how special family is and how blessed we are to have such an amazing one. The love for the girls shines through from our family and friends so beautifully we are so thankful for everyone! Merry Christmas from the Colliers!
